Ubertor Real Estate Blog

We added the Ubertor Concierge Plan a while ago and it has been a great success. The idea behind the plan is to help our clients take care of some of the important tasks that they are too busy to deal with. If you are a Concierge Member, the Ubertor Concierge team will take your new listings and post them to Kijiji.ca and Craigslist as well as embed the Walkscore for the property. Interested? Want more details? Contact Live Help for more details about moving your website to the Ubertor Concierge Plan.

If you look within the “Listings” tab in your control panel, you will see a new tab called “QR Code” within each of your listings. Now, you can use a QR code on your marketing that will drive traffic back to that specific listing. Check it out, let us know what you think.

Here at Ubertor we will be writing a monthly post about upcoming real estate technology events around North America. It will be a post that consists of the upcoming events for agents with a technology focus. If you are running an event or know of any coming up, be sure to drop the details in the comments so that we can get that information into future posts.

For March 2011, here are 2 events (one was yesterday)

RE Bar Camp, Seattle, March 3rd 2011

Realtor Rob Reynar has launched a cool new website on the Ubertor platform specifically focused on the Regina real estate market. It is a completely custom design that incorporates some very neat features. As an example, click on the video on the home page it pops open in a nice shadow box with the video in it.

I received this email today from Ubertor client Jennifer Chiu. We always appreciate feedback about our product and service! Take a moment and check out Jennifer’s website and see what she is doing with her custom Wufoo forms for lead generation.

My sites design, with the help of your Ubertor staff! is clear, simple and modern. Easy to read and follow through. I’ve also been using the Wufoo forms to generate leads and its working! I had no idea there were such forms out there until your staff recommended them. These forms look fantastic and are great call to action items.

I must say I’m very happy with my website and how great your online staff is! Espcially Cristian and Tin, they both have helped me immensely.

Thanks in advance!
Best Regards,

Jennifer Chiu
